IIT Delhi Extends Deadline for Student Suicide Inquiry Committee Report
IIT Delhi has extended the deadline for its five-member committee investigating the suicide of a 31-year-old MSc Physics student to October 10, marking the second extension. The delay was due to the need to re-record some student statements. The student died by suicide on August 23, prompting protests and demands for an independent inquiry. The committee, initially formed on August 25 and reconstituted after its first chairperson recused himself, was given two extensions to submit its report.
